NATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February Esd, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indcscrlbable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
Guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi;,
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR., pe,1ier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and Dr.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have n cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution for
this was what the disease really
vast, she would have been hv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roofs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex'
pressly for DYSPEPSIA or 1ndi-
gestion, has restcrtdnany such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Has England Free Trade?

EDITORS CONSTITUTION: Is England really
free trade country in the full sense of the term2
TARIFF.
No. The English coast bristles with custohihouses
carefully guarding against the free introduction Of
certain goods and products. duty is levied on
about one hundred and forty articles, and some of
these duties dis high as two thousand per cent.
Three thousand cusomhouse officers and several
cutters are employed to collect the duties,
and the expense of collecting them is six million
dollars year. In 1881 England collected five mil
lion dollars more on American ODDS imported than
the United States collected on imported English
goods for the same year. This condition of affairs is
called free trade because the duties not laid upon
as many articles the in old times, ut it
took six hundred years of the most intense protec
ton ever known to bring England to her present
modified tariff system.

Subscriber Cusseta, Ga: l. have rooted some
young lscuppernong vines, and would like 10 know
when 10 set them out; how prune; how far apart,
and the best manure for them. The land Is poor,
gray, sandy land, with but very little vegetable
matter on it. 2. How would rotten cane mashes
do? Please let me know how to make the land rich
as rapidly as possible.
1st About the first of November is the best
time to set out or prune scuppernongs. we
say prune, because in setting out it is well to
prune back considerably. After vine is set
out it needs little or no pruning. When one
has plenty of vines it is well to set them
twenty feet apart each way. When they get
old and begin to crowd each other some may
be cut out. Ashes and bone made into COM
post with vegetable mould, is the best manure
for them. Apply it as top dressing in Win
ter, and do not pillow the land to any depth.
Light sweepings may be necessary to keep
down grass and weeds whilst the vines are
young, but the less their roots are disturbed
the better. Cane bagasse rotted with ashes
would probably make very good manure for
the vines.

Common names of plants vary in different
parts of the country, and we are not sure that
we know what you call "box elder" This
name is generally applied to a tree closely
akin to the ash. Its young twigs are smooth
and green and its leaves are similar to the ash
Its wood is probably not more durable than
that of the ash, and the latter's durability is
not great.
